Well, then, you need to make any binaries run from crontab as root unreadable
as well. If you're really going to run that sort of security you should
probably make *everything* in /bin unreadable that isn't a script.

Oh yeh, libs. Better make them statically linked as well.

Better to have a command that makes everything unreadable that can be safely 
made unreadable. Call it "lockup". Now that'd actually be useful...
